[Tips]:
OGC Nice are currently facing a comprehensive and structural crisis that goes far beyond simple technical or tactical issues. The team are enduring a record-breaking 7-match losing streak, with their attack completely ineffective and their defense full of holes.

What's worse, the team's morale is on the verge of collapse, and the dressing room is severely impacted by off-field controversies.

On the other hand, SC Braga have been in stable form recently, and their overall squad structure remains complete. SC Braga can fully adopt their skilled pragmatic approach, patiently biding their time in the away game, capitalizing on OGC Nice's mistakes and impatient mentality to take the lead through counter-attacks or set pieces.

The bookmakers are lacking confidence with the home team, so we expect SC Braga to claim a victory on the road.

[Recommended]:
SC Braga (-0/0.5)
